Cool or not cool? Would you do it?

[Echo Victor]

Ok- talking about paint here....
1. Cool or not cool?
2. Would you do it to an entire rifle?

Hmm... almost looks like faux snakeskin. Not sure is I would do the whole rifle, might be too gaudy. Interesting look though.

What are you doing up a 2:40 in the morning? Wait...what am I doing up at 2:40 in the morning....?

I think doing the whole rifle would look kinda gaudy to me too. But you know, at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is how much the guy who owns the rifle likes it. We all have different tastes. For instance, I like the Arctic Panther white on black pattern that DPMS makes, I'm sure plenty of others don't.

Cool... if you are in the sandbox, looks different. desert cammo in a North American wooded area or city????

Uncool as it will mess up the value of that 6920

Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to do it on the Colt. I was thinking about it on the spike tactical. The darker brown dots need to fade in and out more. I was trying to make it more inconsistent.

Add some brown and brownish orange to your paint scheme and it will help it blend in w/ autumn foliage if you plan on using it as a hunting rifle.

Someone on here posted a similar looking f-class rifle done entirely like that.

Here's one Corsica Coatings did last year (not mine):

Personally I prefer solid colors

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm going to spray a set of handguards and go for less polka dots.

IMO, I think it would look better that way, but OD green...... but then again its ultimately your choice, you have to be happy with it

 

[SOMDSHOOT]

Yeah I think doing the entire rifle would look a bit cheesy too. I refinished my rifle stock on my Marlin 781 .22 with a metallic blue, it turned out great, but, doing the whole rifle would look a bit "cartoonish".

Be sure to use a satin or flat clear coat over the Krylon. You may even want to go to the expense of using a quality spray like Rustoleum, at least it is designed to adhere to metal.

I like it. I'm trying my hand at refinishing my savage's syn stock. It was so sharp i cut my self on it a couple of times and decided to smooth it out. It had to be painted after all the scraping and sanding.

Now i'm thinking about just tan. so many black guns... need a little color in my safe

I'm halfway through doing a DCU-pattern aluma-hyde II job on my 597. The stock, barrel, action, scope, all have a base coat of Desert Tan.

Once my wrists are better and I have time I'll get it finished.
